Artamides cebuensis Grant. 



Grant 10 characterizes the adult male as "Very nearly allied to the male of 

 A. mindorensis Steere, from which it only differs in being larger and in having 

 the feathers covering the nostrils gray instead of deep black." In specimens 

 before me these characters are well defined and it may be added that in A. min- 

 dorensis the entire lores, the chin, and a patch at base of maxillary ramus are 

 jet black, while in A. cebuensis the lores are blackish and the jaw is slate gray 

 uniform with the chin and throat.

Edoliisoma alterum Wardlaw-Ramsay. 



Fairly common in forest along streams. Usually observed at considerable 

 height from the ground and easily detected by its pleasing whistle. A male and 

 female were commonly seen in company and occasionally two pairs were seen 

 in one tree. 



This species is separable from the Luzon birds (E. carulcscens) as pointed out 

 in the original description," by having the plumage of the male glossed with green,
